The model can be used with the following frameworks;
vllm (recommended): See heretransformers: See hereNote 1: We recommend using a relatively low temperature, such as temperature=0.15.
Note 2: Make sure to add a system prompt to the model to best tailer it for your needs. If you want to use the model as a general assistant, we recommend to use the one provided in the SYSTEM_PROMPT.txt file.
We recommend using this model with vLLM.
Make sure to install vLLM >= 0.9.1:
pip install vllm --upgrade
Doing so should automatically install mistral_common >= 1.6.2.
To check:
python -c "import mistral_common; print(mistral_common.__version__)"
You can also make use of a ready-to-go docker image or on the docker hub.
We recommand that you use Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 in a server/client setting.
vllm serve mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 --tokenizer_mode mistral --config_format mistral --load_format mistral --tool-call-parser mistral --enable-auto-tool-choice --limit_mm_per_prompt 'image=10' --tensor-parallel-size 2
Note: Running Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 on GPU requires ~55 GB of GPU RAM in bf16 or fp16.
